12.1 | Acceleration of Indebtedness. The Bank may accelerate payment of all of
the indebtedness evidenced by the Note and all other indebtedness owing under the Loan
Documents and declare the same to be immediately due and payable, and the Bank will
thereafter be entitled to foreclose the Mortgages and proceed to selectively and
successively enforce its rights under the Loan Documents or any one or more of them;
provided that if any Default occurs under paragraph 11.6 or paragraph 11.7 hereof, all
indebtedness evidenced by the Borrower’s Note and the other Loan Documents will be
automatically accelerated without an election of the Bank and will become immediately
due and payable without protest, presentment, notice or demand, all of which are hereby
expressly waived by the Borrower, and the Bank will thereafter be entitled to
selectively and successively enforce its rights under the Loan Documents or any one or
more of them. |
12.2 | Selective Enforcement. In the event the Bank elects to selectively and
successively enforce its rights under any one or more of the instruments securing
payment of the indebtedness evidenced by the Loan Documents, such action will not be
deemed a waiver or discharge of any other lien or encumbrance securing payment of such
indebtedness until such time as the Bank has been paid in full all sums owing to Bank. |

writing signed by the Bank. |
12.4 | Deposits; Set off. Regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral

Borrower will at all times constitute collateral security for all Obligations and
may be set off against any and all liabilities, direct or indirect, absolute or
contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, to Bank. The
rights granted by this paragraph will be in addition to the rights of the Bank under
any statutory banker’s lien or right of common law set off. |
- 16 -

the right (but not the obligation) to pay any secured or unsecured claim (whether prior
or subordinate to the liens held by the Bank) affecting the Collateral, in such manner
as the Bank determines. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Bank to increase the
indebtedness owing to the Bank by the cost of satisfying claims against the Collateral
and agrees that the Loan Documents will evidence and secure payment of such costs
whether or not the total funds advanced exceed the face amount of the Loan Documents. |
12.6 | Waiver of Rights. Each party hereto waives all rights, if any, as an
accommodation party and/or surety. |
12.7 | Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of the Bank to exercise and
no delay in exercising any right hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will
any single or partial exercise by the Bank of any right hereunder precludes any other
or further right of exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies
herein provided are cumulative and not alternative. |
13. MISCELLANEOUS. It is further agreed as follows:
13.1 | Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties made
herein will survive the making of the Loan hereunder and the delivery of the Loan
Documents and will continue during the term of the loan evidenced by the Loan Documents

faith (a) in complying with or enforcing the terms of this Agreement or the Loan
Documents or (b) as a result of any claim made by any party under the laws of any

makes no representation and assume no responsibility to the Borrower or any Guarantor,
or any other person with respect to: (a) the value, marketability, quality, quantity,
ownership or condition of any of the Collateral: (b) the validity, collectability of
any instrument, certificate, inventory, appraisal, opinion or other document delivered
or to be delivered to either of the Bank in connection with the Loan Documents. Nothing
in the Loan Documents will entitle any parties other than the Bank, the Borrower, and
the Guarantors to rely thereon and no person will be deemed a third party beneficiary
thereof. So long as the Bank acts in good faith in the administration of the loan
evidenced by the Loan Documents and the enforcement of the Loan Documents, the Bank
will incur no liability whatsoever to the Borrower or Guarantors, or any other party
and will be responsible only for the gross negligence and willful misconduct of the
Bank and the Bank’s officers and employees. The Bank will have the right to consult
with legal counsel of Bank’s choice and to be fully exonerated from liability for any
action taken in good faith in accordance with the advice of such legal counsel.
Borrower and Guarantors will jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Bank harmless
from any and all liability, loss and expense, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by
such parties in good faith (a) in complying with or enforcing the terms of this
Agreement or the Loan Documents or (b) as a result of any claim made by any party under
the laws of any governmental entity, including, but not limited to any state or federal
securities or tax laws. |
- 18 -
13.6 | Construction. This Agreement, the Loan Documents and all other
documents issued under this Agreement are intended to be contracts made under the laws
of the State of Oklahoma and are to be construed in accordance with the laws of said
state. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed to constitute the Bank as a joint
venturer, with the Borrower or any other party related thereto or to constitute a
partnership. Except for the defined terms which appear in the subparagraphs under
Paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the descriptive headings of the paragraphs of this
Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be used in the construction of the
content of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts,
each of which will be an original instrument, but all of which will constitute one
agreement. |
13.7 | Binding Effect. This Agreement will be binding on the Borrower or other
party who executes same, and their respective successors and assigns and will inure to
the benefit of the Bank, and the Bank’s respective successors and assigns. Bank may
assign its rights hereunder, in part or as a whole, and may assign any Loan Document
executed and delivered to Bank. |
13.8 | Venue and Jurisdiction. It is agreed that the debt evidenced by the
Loan Documents was contracted in Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, the Note, the Loan
Documents and all other instruments of indebtedness are hereby deemed to have been
given when received and accepted by the Bank at the Bank’s banking house in Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma. Borrower hereby waives all objections to venue and consents to the
jurisdiction of any state or federal court located in Oklahoma County, Oklahoma or the
county in which the Real Property is situated, in connection with any action instituted
by the Bank by reason of or arising out of the execution, deliver, or performance of
any of the Loan Documents. |
13.9 | Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in
the Loan Documents should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and
therein will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. |
13.10 | Usury. It is the intention of the parties hereto to conform strictly
to applicable usury laws now in force. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated
hereby would be usurious under applicable law, then, in that event, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents or in any other instrument or
agreement entered into in connection with or as security for the Loan Documents, it is
agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration that constitutes interest
under applicable law and that is contracted for, charged or received under this
Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents (whether designated as interest, fees,
indemnities, payments or otherwise) shall under circumstances exceed the maximum amount
of interest permitted by applicable law calculated on the basis of the actual number of
days elapsed over a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) days or three hundred
sixty-six |
- 19 -
(366) days, as the case may be, and any excess shall be canceled
automatically and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on the Note by the holder thereof (or,
if the Note and all other indebtedness owing under the Loan Documents have been paid
in full, refunded to the Borrower); and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the
Note is accelerated by reason of an election of the Bank resulting from a Default
under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted
prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest may never include more
than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, and excess interest, if any,
provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically as of
the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be
credited on the Note (or, if the Note and all other indebtedness under the Loan
Documents have been paid in full, refunded to the Borrower). All sections and
provisions of this Agreement, the Note, the Loan Documents and the other instruments
now or hereafter executed in connection with or as security for any of such
agreements or instruments, including without limitation those sections and
provisions calling for the calculation of interest on the basis of the actual number
of days elapsed over a year of three hundred sixty (360) days, are subject to this
paragraph 13.10, which limits the maximum amount of interest. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, the Bank will not be required to advance
any funds if on the date of any proposed advance the prevailing interest rate which
the Bank intends to charge (including rates of discount and commissions with respect
to bankers acceptance financing) would violate the usury laws of the State of
Oklahoma.
13.11 | Mistakes — Liquidated Damages. Borrower and Guarantors hereby
expressly waive any mistakes, inaccuracies, or misstatements made in connection with
the preparations of the Loan Documents. Borrower and Guarantors further expressly agree
that the maximum liability which may be incurred by Bank due to any such mistake,
inaccuracy, or misstatement shall be collectively One Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100
Dollars ($1,500.00), such sum being agreed upon as liquidated damages collectively
available to Borrower and Guarantors, their total damages and relief hereunder. |
In addition, in the event the Loan Documents or any one of them misstates or
inaccurately reflects the true and correct terms and provisions of said Loan
Document(s) and said misstatement or inaccuracy is due to unilateral mistake on the
part of Bank, mutual mistake on the part of Bank, Borrower, and/or Guarantors, or
clerical error, then in such event, Borrower and/or Guarantor shall, upon request by
Bank and in order to correct such misstatement or inaccuracy, execute such new
documents or initial such corrected original documents as Bank may deem necessary to
remedy said inaccuracy or mistake. Borrower’s and/or Guarantors’ failure to initial
or execute such documents as requested shall constitute a default under the Loan
Documents.

connection therewith constitute the entire agreement among parties hereto and
encompassing their entirety all prior written and oral negotiations,
understandings, representations, warranties and agreements among such parties. |
